Great option right in downtown Ft. Smith

We really enjoyed staying at the duplex during our recent duck hunting/fishing trip on the Bighorn. The properties are nicely apportioned, clean, and well-stocked with all of the essentials. The owners were extremely communicative and responded quickly to any questions we had as we planned our trip. We'll certainly be back on down the road!
